Managed to capture HAa(60mm Ha Daystar Solar Scope) and White Light(100mmAPO Lunt Solar Wedge Baader Solar Continuum Filter) with Gstar video camera.Up to 1000 frames processed with Registax 5 and Picasa.Also got some afocal white light shots using a Baader Zoom which I will post when resized.

Thanks for the great update Derek - I do like to see what is going on between my weekend sessions!

Nice stuff Derek. Might I suggest you wind down the Gamma during capture. It gives a nicer contrast to the images.

The camera I'm using only has 2 gamma settings as its an analog system but I'll give it a try.Also I probably lowered the gamma setting in Registax too much to try and achieve that contrast.As I don't have much in the way of post processing it all a learning curve.Thanks for the advice
